Books with author William Henry James Boot

William James gave public lectures on psychology to the Cambridge teachers in which he explained the psychology he had developed in his "Principles of Psychology" and offered ideas on applying the science of psychology to the art of education. This book contains the substance of his lectures not only given to the Cambridge teachers but to the students as well.

They are not human.They are inter-dimensional beings who came from an otherworldly holy place called Sion.They crossed a forbidden barrier, transformed or morphed into human form and freely mingled with humans.They intervened in human affairs.They created a hybrid race with humans.They taught the art of building temple-portals with massive stones and the secret of transforming humans into angels or inter-dimensional beings.They were punished as dangerous and subversive and labeled as fallen.God sent a cataclysm to destroy them and their offspring.Their temple-portals were disabled or destroyed.Their teachings were declared heresy, forbidden.They are the Watchers, the holiest race of alien beings.We’ve been warned to stay away from them.Most have.We, however, will break through the barrier.In this revolutionary exploration of the Watchers, the Angels of the Lord or the Holy Ones, we learn the story of the Watchers is the product of one of the greatest spiritual and literary revolutions the world has ever seen. It began during the 3rd century B.C. when a wave of apocalyptic Essene writings swept the Mediterranean world and came to fruition at the time of Jesus. From this epoch emerged a new hero, Enoch, ‘the Translated Man’, who was transformed into a being of light and joined the Watchers in heaven. The mystic secrets of ascension the Watchers gave Enoch have been sought for centuries. They were known and used by Jesus. In this thorough study, these secrets are considered, if not revealed.In this heavily illustrated study, William proposes that the Watchers are Seraphim (“winged serpent” angels who are Type III beings on the Kardashev Scale of civilizations and have advanced, non-physical Rainbow Bodies of Light. They correspond to the Seven Rayed Naga “rainbow serpents of wisdom” of Buddhist tradition and the seven fish-cloaked Apkallu sages of Mesopotamia.We explore the literary and historical evidence that the Watchers possess the secret of human transformation into angels. They came to earth on a mission to instruct humans in this transformation. Their teachings became the basis for the Christian concepts of ascension, resurrection and perfection.This study changes the traditional perception of the Watchers and puts us on the true path to discovering their secrets.Can souls return to their Source (God’s Throne)?Can a human transform into an angel or become equal to an angel? Are we all fallen angels/aliens?Can a human ascend to godhood? Can any one learn to do this on their own? If so, what skills are required?Is a direct connection with God possible?If so, who initiates this encounter? Does God?Or, can a human take it upon them self to ‘call’ God?Is there a cosmic conduit linking earth with Sion?Can humans achieve perfection?The Watchers addresses these questions and more.

The work of William James contributed greatly to the burgeoning fields of psychology, particularly in the areas of education, religion, mysticism and pragmatism. The brother of novelist Henry James and of diarist Alice James, William wrote several powerful essays expressing his ideas on the pragmatic theory of truth, sentience, and human beings' right to believe. In "The Will to Believe", James suggests that what a person holds to be true or attainable may exist through that person's belief in them, regardless of a lack of physical evidence. In a sense, he advocates the theory of self-fulfilling prophesies. "Human Immortality" was a speech delivered during the annual Ingersoll Lectureship, given in memory of George Goldthwait Ingersoll, in 1897 at Harvard University. These works are a prime example of the powerful influence William James has had on modern psychology, and are still recognized today for their brilliance and revolutionary impacts on the field.

Several of William James' finest essays are brought together in this edition, including his spiritual masterwork The Will to Believe, and a famous lecture concerning immortality. The Will to Believe was first delivered as a lengthy lecture by William James in 1896. Following a strong reception, it was later published as a distinct book in its own right. Setting out to defend the right of individuals to be religious irrespective of pure logic and reason, the lecture highlights many of the proven advantages conferred by the belief in a guiding divine force. The benefits of belief to the believer are thus noted. James deftly cites many real life examples to prove his points - noting that many tasks or duties require confidence, he notes how individuals can perform and surmount difficulties if they believe in the divine. For such persons to abandon faith would therefore be irrational, as their religious beliefs have helped them in life. This argument is closely aligned with James' personal philosophical alignment with pragmatism. The Will to Believe also contains arguments in favor of persons having their own free will. James contested simply that as he believed in his own free will, he had it. As well as this, we hear several philosophical arguments in which James discusses the merits of empiricism versus absolutism. Other essays in this compendium include 'Is Life Worth Living?' and 'The Dilemma of Determinism'. In these and other writings, James demonstrates a superb command of philosophical principles and theoretical daring, at various times explaining and refuting established discussions on the subjects. The final essay in this edition, Human Immortality, sees James object to the notion that humans cannot be immortal if their bodies and minds are separated due to death. He objects to the assertion that human thought is concluded if the brain ceases to function, noting that human consciousness exists with the world and may philosophically have a life of its own. Notable for both his psychological and philosophical ideas, William James would author numerous lectures and books surrounding both subjects. The importance of spiritualism to the human being, the permanence of the spirit, and its effects on the thought processes, is but one area in which James distinguished himself.

Three years ago Jack Campbell separated from his wife. His daughter, Maggie, wrote him a letter expressing her anger and disappointment. She was 27 then, a finance professional, and maybe should have known better than to take sides in such a private matter, maybe not. Either way, they hadn’t spoken since, and her letter lay there beneath their relationship.Now, three years later, with the stress of work and difficulties in her personal relationships, Maggie Campbell goes in search of her father, a search that takes her to Positano on the romantic Italian Amalfi Coast, a picturesque town where anything can happen. What she finds in Positano might just change her life if she doesn’t leave it all behind to return to the comfortable safety of the life she already knows, fearful of the changes that can come from chance decisions. Finding Positano is a charming story of love, reconciliation and possibility.
